Chapter 1277: Making the Relationship Clear
Bai Shishi said it had been a long time since she’d gone out to have fun like this, and in a good mood, she opened a bottle of red wine.
The four of them chatted, and Bai Shishi started talking about the Wang Group yesterday.
"I really didn’t expect you to stir up such a big mess. It really surprised me; this time it hurt the Wang Family’s roots."
After speaking, Bai Shishi gave Lin Tian a flirtatious look, her eyes full of admiration and affection.
Lin Tian took a sip of wine, shook his head, and said, "The Wang Family’s PR did a great job, and they did it in time, salvaging the situation, which was better than I expected. It’s a pity."
Mei Ruyan, who usually spoke less, closed her eyes comfortably and said softly, "You’re really boasting. Achieving this is already quite remarkable; after all, the Wang Family is a behemoth. But you should be more careful, as the Wang Family might retaliate."
Lin Tian confidently smiled and said, "Don’t worry."
Liou Qingcheng, sitting beside Lin Tian, was taken aback. She looked at Lin Tian in disbelief and asked, "All these things happening with the Wang Group these past few days, is it related to you?"
Mei Ruyan smiled with pursed lips and said, "It has a lot to do with him. He was the mastermind; Shishi and I didn’t get involved at all."
Liou Qingcheng’s mouth opened wider. She gently pinched Lin Tian’s waist with her hand and complained, "Why didn’t you tell me?"
"Ouch, ouch, ouch~" Lin Tian pretended to grimace in pain. Once Liou Qingcheng let go, he caught his breath and said, "Actually, it’s not as big a deal as you think. I really didn’t do much. I just started it off, and the rest really has little to do with me."
Seeing the deep concern in Liou Qingcheng’s eyes, Lin Tian quickly said, "Don’t worry, I absolutely won’t be in danger, and the Wang Family doesn’t know it’s me who did it."
Liou Qingcheng snorted softly and said, "Go fool a ghost; this isn’t small? It’s been on the trending search for a week. Everyone in the country, including the public, media, and major enterprises, is paying attention. How could it be small? Do you know how colossal the Wang Group is? Do you know how dangerous it is?!"
The more Liou Qingcheng spoke, the more worried she became, and the more fearful she got. Her tone grew heavier, finally turning into questioning.
Lin Tian felt warm in his heart seeing her so earnest. He hugged Liou Qingcheng’s fragrant shoulder, pulling her body to his chest, gently patting her shoulder, and comforting her, "It’s not as serious as you say. Besides, look at me now; I’m fine, aren’t I? It’s all over, and the Wang Family can’t pin it on me. Rest assured."
The more Lin Tian said, the less assured Liou Qingcheng was. She lightly tapped Lin Tian’s chest with her small fists, complaining, "You’ve already done what you’ve done, so just be cautious. Also, in the future when doing these things, think more about your parents, think about me, and think about Shishi and Ru Yan."
Lin Tian was stunned for a moment, and Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan were also taken aback. Originally, their relationship was hazy, understood without words. As long as Liou Qingcheng was present, Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan absolutely wouldn’t vie for affection or flirt with Lin Tian.
But it was unexpected that Liou Qingcheng would mention their names in the end, which almost clarified the relationship.
However, from Liou Qingcheng’s tone and demeanor, she didn’t seem angry, nor did she show signs of being upset, as though silently accepting Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan. The heart that was lifted is put at ease again.
In reality, after saying those words, Liou Qingcheng regretted it a bit. She was somewhat worried that by making things explicit, it might lead to a strained relationship or less friendliness than before, possibly creating a rift.
She instinctively turned to look at Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan, and when she saw the smiles on their faces, Liou Qingcheng realized she was overthinking.
In a daze, Liou Qingcheng suddenly made an important decision in her heart. She glanced at the sunset and the colorful evening clouds in the sky, took a deep breath, sat up straight, and said, "You don’t have to keep it from me; I’ve known for a long time."
Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan instinctively straightened their bodies.
"Qingcheng, I..." Lin Tian opened his mouth, wanting to apologize, wanting to explain, but those words felt feeble when they reached his lips.
Liou Qingcheng ignored Lin Tian and continued, "In reality, I’ve been confused too, I’ve sulked, and even thought about breaking up with Lin Tian and never seeing each other again. I believe there’s no woman in the world who wants their husband to have other women besides herself. But after being angry for a while, I figured out a lot of things. Lin Tian is so outstanding, dazzlingly so. It’s no exaggeration to say he’s my dream guy, someone I fell in love with at first sight."
"He’s tall, handsome, and full of confidence, especially when he smiles, there’s a particular gentleness, and his voice is very magnetic. The first time I noticed him was when he showed his amazing skills on the basketball court, fascinating all the girls present, myself included. Back then, I wanted to meet him, to be friends. I thought it and just did it. But I didn’t expect this fool to reject me."
"Later, after he was expelled from school, I don’t know what he went through, but in just over a month, he crammed knowledge and got the top score in the unified exam. At that time, in my heart, he once again refreshed his image, gaining a ’super strong willpower’ label."
"Without realizing it, I followed him to the Medical University. During the military training, because of my willfulness, I was punished by the instructor to run twenty laps. When I couldn’t run anymore, he carried me on his back and finished the remaining laps. After the run, neither of us had any strength left. At that moment, I looked at his profile and thought I wouldn’t marry anyone but him in this lifetime!"
"Later on, I felt like he was a treasure trove with countless shining points. He is a doctor of ancient traditional Chinese medicine, even Mr. Zhao admires him and can discuss medicine with him day and night. Oh, by the way, he sings beautifully and cooks delightful meals. As someone so picky, I can hardly find any faults in him."
As she spoke, tears filled Liou Qingcheng’s brilliant smile. She turned to look at Lin Tian and began to laugh again, "He’s really too outstanding, so outstanding that no one can resist his charm. I’ve thought many times, can I completely hold onto this man? The answer is no. Because if I were him, I, too, wouldn’t resist so many women flocking to him like moths to a flame."
"He is faithful, but not indulgent. I don’t want to leave him, so I can only try to understand him."
Then, Liou Qingcheng turned to look at Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan, smiled, and said, "Fortunately, this scoundrel has good taste, Shishi and Ru Yan are not ordinary women. I can see that your feelings for him are no less than mine."
